How do we know we are included in God's covenant?

Answered in 1 source

You can know you are included in God's covenant by recognizing the work of the Holy Spirit in your life, leading you to faith in Christ.

Assurance of being included in God's covenant comes through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. This is a pivotal doctrine in sovereign grace theology, where the Spirit plays an essential role in regeneration and faith. As preached in the context of Hosea, God's elect are made willing to embrace the terms of the covenant, which manifests itself in repentance and faith in Christ. 2 Samuel 23:5 encapsulates this assurance, acknowledging that despite personal failings, God's everlasting covenant stands secure. Moreover, verses like Romans 10:9 affirm that confessing Christ as Lord and believing in His resurrection is central to this assurance. Ultimately, the evidence of your covenant inclusion is a heart turned away from idolatry and a love for Christ’s righteousness over your self-righteousness.
